Shortly there after, my wife called and said water was leaking from under the toilet. When I got home, I took the toilet off and sure enough, the wax ring had failed. I replaced it and have had no problems since. Two days later I called Roto Rooter and talked with Steve and explained the above situation. He said this tech was his best and he would like to talk with him before commenting. I agreed. He called the next day (prompt) and explained that the tech felt he had done nothing wrong but when face with a supervisor coming out and examining the parts, agreed to forgo some of the bill. Steve then credited me $100 and asked if we were good. I said yes. This is what I learned: These plumbers are on commission - it pays to fix more than what is broken. My wife was right - technicians do try and take advantage of unknowing people (they give the honest ones a bad rep). I will never recommend this company. Though Steve reimbursed me partially, for my company, I would have been out there confirming these allegations to either support my people or fire them. Your reputation is long lasting and I would not put up with someone cheating my customers. It makes you wonder if this is happening all the time and that is what makes this technician so valuable to the company.

Courtney Construction has certainly done lots of work on my house (10 contracted jobs). As general contractors, they can do it all. As indicated in the previous question, I have engaged them to handle all types of jobs. They are trustworthy, thorough, and skilled in what they do. John Hanger (foreman) takes great pride in the quality of work they perform and does not cut corners. When they discover problems, they solve them rather than cover them up. In my 62 year old house, there have been lots of problems covered up by past owners/contractors. I do believe we have discovered most and corrected all that have been discovered. Overview of Jobs:Master Bathroom Remodel: Demo down to the studs and subfloor, replaced everything with high-end fixtures(cabinets, lighting and air tub), installed porcelain tile in decorative pattern, installed heated flooring,and replaced all plumbing, venting and electrical.Whole House Generator: Poured concrete pad for generator, did all electrical work, ran natural gas line to the generatorHallway Bathroom Remodel: Demo shower, expanded shower by bumping into the hallway closet, replaced all fixtures with high-end fixtures, replaced all lighting and venting, and installed marble to countertops and shower door frame and shower seat.Front Entry: Demo existing steps that had been updated in the past by previous owner (did not match the period of the house) and were crumbling. Designed and poured period appropriate steps and installed new lighting.Security doors: Replaced all original and existing storm doors with security doors.4 Seasons room: Converted existing screen room into 4 seasons room to include insulating floor, raising corner of house that had sunk over time, installing double hung windows, installing new subfloor, installing commercial grade outdoor carpeting, repainted everything to match and updated lighting.Gutter screens: After years of problems with clogged down spouts, they cleaned gutters, repaired gutters where needed and installed gutter screens.Kitchen: replaced all appliances with stainless steel appliances, replaced sink with Kohler rimless sink, installed Delta Touch 2-0 sink faucet, replaced all plumbing and electrical, installed new RO machine, and installed counter switch for garbage disposal.Door Jamb: Replaced damaged door jamb, planed two other doors to allow for installion of new flooring, and rehung three doors. I will certainly use Courntey Construction again.

I logged onto Angie's List and found what I considered an excellent local plumbing company indicated by their ratings. Knowing that everything is more expensive on a holiday, I called at 7:30 am anyway . I was told they could have someone out between 10am and noon. I was also told if I could wait until the next day it would cost less. I appreciated the information, but I needed the drain unclogged. I was surprised when I got a call at 8:15 am by the plumber who would be coming out. He said he could be here in about 45 minutes. He and his helper arrived as promised, spent about 45 minutes unclogging the main drain, cleaned up after themselves, and were out of here by 10am.

"Chance was great. He installed our 3-stage water filtration system (US Water sediment, carbon, and Pulsar UV) with an existing softener, a new water heater, and fixed two shower leaks (one drain, one valve). In all of these, he efficiently evaluated each system and made the necessary updates. This was working with a plumbing system originally installed in the 1980s. Fair pricing, and very professional. We highly recommend him."

FAQs for plumbing handyman service projects in Rome City, IN
The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
Do you have any before and after photos of your work?
How long have you been doing this kind of work?
Do you clean up and dispose of waste when the job is finished?
Yes, you should hire a handyman who’s licensed, certified, and insured, if possible. States have different requirements for handyman licensing, registration, and certifications. If licensing is required in your area, you may pay more for a licensed handyman with experience than one who is not licensed or certified, but you’re likely to get a better end result for your project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local handymen guidelines.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
